Mom and dad's tradition was to serve this at midnight on New Year's Eve to their party guests. They continued the tradition for the grandchildren. Mom's birthday was celebrated earlier in the evening, of course. History lesson: A beef on weck is a sandwich found primarily in Western New York State, particularly in the city of Buffalo. It is made with roast beef on a kimmelweck roll. The meat on the sandwich is traditionally served thin cut, with the top bun getting a dip au jus and spread with horseradish.
